Jesus does not bring any dead individual. They have physical bodies and are physically alive, not dead.You are 100% CORRECT
1 Thess 4:13-18 = Those whom CHRIST brings are the spirits/souls of the Saints who physically died.
No physical bodies are allowed in Heaven until the Resurrection of the Just = 1 Thess 4:13-18
At His Second Coming is when all the Saints receive their Glorified Immortal Bodies = Matthew 22:29-31
SHALOM
Lazarus came out of his tomb with a permanent incorruptible physical body. The same body Adam had before he disobeyed God. You can say that Adam had a glorified immortal body, and then lost it.
Being glorified is putting on the spirit over the physical body. The term immortal body is not found in Scripture. They already have life in Paradise, meaning not dead, which is the same as immortal. Mortal meaning death. Immortal meaning life. No one is dead, nor naked in Paradise. Why would you state otherwise? Having a soul only would be spiritual, no? Obviously not physical.
What is the difference between spiritual and glorified in your lingo?
1 Thessalonians 4 does not say a physical body is banned from heaven. Jesus is not banned from heaven. Once Jesus ascended with all those from Abraham's bosom, all could enjoy the physical experience of Paradise. That is being made alive. They all are already there, not dead.
